20 Miles Away

The trek to Jollibee as I wrote previously was very much anticipated by my husband. I promised to share here what my husband ordered and the dishes we brought home. If you are a regular reader of my blog, you very well know by now that I’m married to a foodie, so don’t be shock to see the volume of food that he can put away.

I know, this blog can now be mistaken as a food blog, as I have been constantly writing about our food binges. If this keeps up I may well soon be writing about my big time search for ephedrine hcl to sort of keep our weight in check.

Check these out:

Heavyweight Yumburger with fries, Chickenjoy and Palabok fiiesta

No, I didn’t order burger, I was satisfied with my Palabok.  Believe me, my husband also had his own Palabok on top of his burger and fries.

Our food-to-go:

We brought home  Palabok, Spaghetti, Large buttered corn and 6 pieces Chickenjoy plus an additional 1 piece free. I figured, the crew behind the counter must have been delighted to serve my husband (thus, the freebie) as he was the only non-Pinoy guest at that time.

Last weekend, he was again insinuating his intention on dropping by Jollibee. The next time around, as he said, he will be ready for Burger Steak and Peach Mango pie. Oh my, now I’m afraid I’ll be seeing myself driving 40 miles roundtrip, a possible one hour traffic each way just to have a taste of home.

  • Oh my gulay! The chickenjoy!!! That’s my favorite sa Jollibee! I would probably bring home 2 buckets of the chickenjoy…

  • at past 12 midnight, manila time, i’m now crazing for palabok and chicken joy.

    i’m just find it interesting that they serve corn in your Jollibee. hehehe!

    i’m sure your husband would love the peach mango pie because any foreigner whom i’ve brought to Jollibee really liked it.

  • Hmmm…. sarap naman!

    Don’t they serve rice along with their chickenjoy meal? Parang iba na yata ang looks ah.. I wonder if it tastes the same din dun sa lutong pinas. Kasi si spaghetti, eh parang na-collapse (read: pale). LOL Anyway, I’d still would be indulging in it basta ba may access ako! Hahaha! And oh… the price, I’ve read in your response in the post below this. Sobrang mahal pala talaga nila. Tama pala SIL ko sa vegas, it’s even more expensive than American food chains. A spag meal in pinas won’t cost you more than P100, or baka ngayon, less than P150 na. And whole meal na yan so super cheap talaga! Hmm… panalo talaga si hubby mo ha! Hehe..

  • @ kikamz

    not exactly that near though. sana there’ll be another branch soon that is closer. 20 miles is quite a drive pa rin.ako I totally forget counting calories when I’m indulging on Pinoy dishes. bihira naman kasi makatikim.

    sure, I will update your link in a bit. thanks for dropping by.

  • @ Tuks

    you can get their big bucket, 18 pieces for $38.99. grabe mamresyo hehe. kaso there’s no Jollibee where you are. malay mo, they will open one soon.

  • @ Alem

    I was surprised too to see corn in their menu. it works for the american palate, I guess.

    once my hubby tries the peach mango pie, I will surely write about it.

  • @ recel

    oh sure, rice is on the menu. pwede ba naman mawala? oo nga, they are a bit pricey. but then again, it’s New York, my friend. everything is just expensive here. you also have to tuck on the 8.375% tax.

    but who cares? obviously, mga Pinoy don’t mind, (me included). they just want to have a taste of home.

  • with that amount of food take out, you’re right that your husband is a voracious eater.

  • Imagine?! An American prefers Jollibee over McDo! Driving 20 miles roundtrip would really make Jollibee super special.

  • @ AiDiSan

    that’s just a very mild word to describe him. basta, ang lamon hahaha.

  • @ Tita Beng

    he has not eaten McDo in decades. He prefers Burger King once in a while lang yun. But he loves a local burger joint here called Roll N Roaster, a landmark close to where we live. oh, and 20 miles each way yung Jollibee ha. kaya it’s such an effort para sadyain.

  • nakuuuu namannnnn! kakainggit talga friendship! kung pwede lang kainin yun pictures! miss ko yun burger ng jollibee..very flavorful! love ko din palabok nila! and the chicken joy! oh my! oh my! so crunchy and yummy to the max! out of desperation, baka nga makain ko yun pictures mo hehe! :)
